Talking to a rose he finds on earth, where there are bushes and all. He only has one rose and three volcanoes (one is extinct) in his planet:

"You're lovely, but you're empty," he went on. "One couldn't die for you. Of course an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than you altogether, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass. Since she's the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except for two or three for butterflies). Since's she the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose."

Its reminds me of that Neruda quote - "You are like nobody since I love you."

The very first book I re-read, aside from bedtime stories: Charlottes Webb

My Classics:
The Little Women
Pride and Prejudice
Laura Ingles Wilder's Little House series
The Lord of the Rings (many x's since 4th grade)
Cold Mountain (It's written about my heritage and lineage, by a family member. My sentimentality gets the best of me.)
The Help (will be added)

Plays, but still a good read:
Romeo and Juliet
Twelfth Night

And for my darker/trashier reading side:
Several books from The Sookie Stackhouse Series and some incredibly wow!wait.what? books that Ann Rice penned under a different name. That's all I'm saying about that.

When I hear terms like "hipster" I think, who told cliques they could leave high school??
